O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL

O come all ye faithful

Joyful and triumphant

O come ye O come ye to Bethlehem

Come and behold Him

Born the King of angels

Chorus

O come let us adore Him

Christ the Lord

Yea Lord we greet Thee

Born this happy morning

Jesus to Thee be all glory giv’n

Word of the Father

Now in flesh appearing

C. Frederick Oakeley, John Francis Wade

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

While shepherds kept their watching

O’er silent flocks by night

Behold throughout the heavens

There shone a holy light

Chorus

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and ev’rywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is born

Verse 2:

The shepherds feared and trembled

When lo above the earth

Rang out the angel chorus

That hailed the Savior’s birth

Verse 3:

Down in a lowly manger

The humble Christ was born

And God sent us salvation

That blessed Christmas morn

JINGLE BELLS

Chorus

Jingle bells jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Jingle bells jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh what fun it is to ride

In a one horse open sleigh

Verse 1

Dashing through the snow

In a one horse open sleigh

O’er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtail ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Good tidings we bring

To you and your kin

We wish you a merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world the Lord is come

Let earth receive her King

Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room

And heav’n and nature sing

And heav’n and heav’n and nature sing

Joy to the earth the Savior reigns

Let men their songs employ

While fields and floods

Rocks hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grow

Nor thorns infest the ground

He comes to make His blessings flow

Far as the curse is found

Far as far as the curse is found

He rules the world with truth and grace

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love

And wonders wonders of His love

George Frideric Handel, Isaac Watts

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR

It came upon the midnight clear

That glorious song of old

From angels bending near the earth

To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth good will to men

From heaven’s all-gracious King

The world in solemn stillness lay

To hear the angels sing

O ye beneath life’s crushing load

Whose forms are bending low

Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow

Look now for glad and golden hours

Come swiftly on the wing

Oh rest beside the weary road and

Hear the angels sing

For lo the days are hast’ning

On by prophets seen of old

When with the ever-circling years

Shall come the time foretold

When the new heaven and earth shall own

The Prince of Peace their King

And the whole world send back the song

Which now the angels sing

Edmund Sears, Richard Storrs Willis, Stephen Robert Cass

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID’S CITY

Once in royal David’s city

Stood a lowly cattle shed

Where a mother laid her baby

In a manger for His bed

Mary was that mother mild

Jesus Christ her little child

He came down to earth from heaven

Who is God and Lord of all

And His shelter was a stable

And His cradle was a stall

With the poor and meek and lowly

Lived on earth our Savior holy

Jesus is our childhood’s pattern

Day by day like us He grew

He was little weak and helpless

Tears and smiles like us He knew

And He feels for all our sadness

And He shares in all our gladness

And our eyes at last shall see Him

Through His own redeeming love

For that child so dear and gentle

Is our Lord in heaven above

And He leads His children on

To the place where He has gone

SILENT NIGHT

Silent night holy night

All is calm all is bright

Round yon virgin mother and Child

Holy Infant so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night holy night

Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar

Heav’nly hosts sing alleluia

Christ the Savior is born

Silent night holy night

Son of God love’s pure light

Radiant beams from Thy holy face

With the dawn of redeeming grace

Jesus Lord at Thy birth

Silent night holy night

Wondrous star lend thy light

With the angels let us sing

Alleluia to our King

Christ the Savior is born
